It has been prepared by experienced professionals in marine national park tourism. However, since information might change, we recommend readers to contact the Royal Forest Department directly or search for more information from Internet websites such as www.forest.go.th, www.tat.or.th and www. TalayThai.com. The Royal Forest Department would like to thank all those interested in marine nature tourism in Thailand. We hope the handbook will be useful in proving to you the beauty of Thailand’s coasts.

Central Telephone Number 66-2561-2918-21 222222000 « Handbook of Marine National Park Tourism : Andaman Sea ª°Àπâ“„π Compared with terrestrial parks, (Yellow- stone National Park was declared in 1872), marine protected areas are a fairly recent phenomenon. In Thailand the first National Park was Khao Yai opened in 1961 and the first marine National Park, Khao Sam Roi Yot was created in 1966. But it was not until 1993 that Marine National Parks were managed separately from terrestrial parks. This recent interest in marine HAILAND conservation has derived largely from the realization T that human influences on marine resources particu- larly in the coastal region, are having devastating OF effects which threaten not only the resources but also the livelihood of many people who rely on them. Tropical marine ecosystems are very diverse and are represented in Thailand by such important habitats as; Open water, Coral reefs, Seagrass beds, ARKS Mangrove forests, Soft sediment communities and Beaches. These habitats are all particularly important P for many of the people of Thailand as they provide both subsistence and cash crop fisheries and other benefits, such as wood from mangrove forests. In addition, these ecosystems also contain a high biodiversity of animals and plants and form the basis for valuable tourism industries, with potential for ecotourism and education related activities. ATIONAL With great concern of valuable resources, the Marine National Park Division (MNPD) was N established in 1993 by a reorganization of the National Park Division. All the national parks with a significant marine or coastal ecosystem was included in the new MNPD. At present, the division is responsible for managing the 21 marine national parks, with a ARINE further 5 areas being in the process of establishing. Goals of Division M The Marine National Park Division was established to achieve the following objectives ; 1. To manage the Marine protected areas in accordance with the National Park act 1961. 2. To continually revise and update marine park management strategies for natural resource conservation and rehabilitation of marine ecosystems in the Marine National Parks. 3. To provide recreation, education and re- search opportunities within the parks in a sustainable fashion. 4. To undertake and utilise research to update management plans for each Marine National Park, independently.

  • Southern Andaman Coast
    © Lonely Planet Publications SOUTHERN ANDAMAN COAST 325 Southern Andaman Coast Island hoppers, this is your dreamland. The south is the quieter half of the Andaman coast; even the tourist star of Ko Phi-Phi can’t rival the glam and crowds of Phuket. Instead, this region is the ideal choice for serious relaxation, outdoor fun and chummy nights at beachside bars. Just slowly putter from white-sand isle to white-sand isle. Social seekers will love the developed beauties such as Ko Phi-Phi and Ko Lanta where you can party into the wee hours and meet plenty of people on the beach, yet still find a peaceful strip of sand. And roads less travelled are just next door: head down through the lightly developed Trang islands to the even less visited Satun Province to find powder-white romantic beaches, outrageous snorkelling and plenty of spicy southern Thai culture. The entire region is made up of a spectacular undulating coastline pierced by sheer limestone formations, speckled with islands and cloaked in a carpet of verdant greenery. Besides the phenomenal diving and snorkelling, some of the best rock climbing in the world can be found in Krabi and Trang Provinces. All that limestone also means there are plenty of caves to explore; some house shrines while others require that you shimmy on your stomach to get through. You can also kayak to islands or through coastal mangroves. Much of this region shuts down in the April to November low season but even at that time you can still get to most places with determined effort.

The family has a single species, Pteleocarpa lamponga (Miq.) K. Heyne that is similar to Boraginaceae, but differs by its fruit characteristics. A description and illustration of P. lamponga from Thailand is provided. The pollen is monad, radially symmetrical, isopolar, prolate spheroidal, 3-colporate and with reticulate sculpturing. The epidermal cells are rectangular to polygonal and square on both leaf surfaces and the anomocytic stomata are restricted to the lower surface.
